Tried watching a slow burn show on 1.5x speed and it totally clicked for me

I always thought slow shows like Better Call Saul were just boring... I couldn't get past the first few episodes. My buddy kept saying the payoff was worth it, so I tried watching it at 1.5x speed on a whim. The pacing felt normal and I actually got invested in the story. Has anyone else messed with playback speed to get through a show that felt too slow at first?

I did the same with Better Call Saul and it worked like magic.

Did it really help you get through the slower parts of Season 2? That's exactly what I needed for my own rewatch, honestly. I just forced myself to watch three episodes a week, and it made the whole show feel tighter.

@johnson.jesse S2 was the worst for me too but 1.5x fixed it completely.
